Turnaround times start once we have your photos and wording. Once your website is live, you can add our optional monthly care plan, or take it over and manage it yourself. Need more pages or an extra feature? We’ll quote it before any work starts, so your price never changes without your say-so. Your domain (web address) is registered in your name and billed separately, usually around £10 a year.

Our work

Real websites for real businesses.

Ont’ Brew

Independent coffee shop, Tyldesley. Starter package.

A one-page site built around their photos, menu and community. It shows customers whether the shop is open right now, what’s on the counter and what’s happening each week.

  • Live open or closed status from their real hours
  • Tabbed menu for coffee, chai, matcha, iced drinks and tea
  • What’s On section for the Saturday run club
  • Dogs welcome gallery and one-tap directions

Care plans

Once your website is live, choose how you’d like it looked after. The care plan is optional and there’s no contract.

Recommended

Monthly care plan

Price on request

  • Hosting: your website kept online and connected to your domain
  • Regular checks to make sure everything’s running properly
  • Changes whenever you need them, at no extra cost
  • Prices, opening hours, photos and events kept up to date
  • A quick reply whenever you need something

Need something changed? Just message us and we’ll sort it, free.

No care plan

No monthly fee

Pay for your website once and that’s it. We hand it over to you to host and manage yourself.

How the handover works

  1. Your website is finished and paid for in full.
  2. We send a copy of it straight to your own Lovable account (the platform your website is built on).
  3. We jump on a call and show you how to publish it and connect your web address.
  4. Once it’s in your account, it’s fully yours.

You’ll need a Lovable account, and using your own web address needs one of Lovable’s paid plans.

Need a change later? Come back to us any time and we’ll quote a price for the job before we start.

On the care plan? Cancel any time and we’ll hand your website over to you. Shopify stores aren’t covered by the care plan: we build your shop and transfer it straight to your own Shopify account, and you pay Shopify for your plan directly.

Why choose us

The quality of an agency, the price of a freelancer, and none of the hassle of building it yourself.

How it works

Four steps from first message to a live website. We work remotely, so it doesn’t matter where in the UK you are.

  1. Have a chat

    Tell us about your business by phone, video call or message, and what you need the website to do.

  2. See your design

    We send a working design to your phone, so you can see exactly how it will look.

  3. We build it

    Pay the 50% deposit and we build it with your photos, prices and wording.

  4. Go live

    Pay the balance, we connect your domain and your website goes live on Google.

In every website

Whichever package you pick, these come as standard.

Mobile-first design

Built for phones first, where most of your customers will find you.

SSL security

The padlock in the address bar, so browsers trust your site.

Found on Google

Page titles, descriptions and indexing set up from day one.

Fast loading

Compressed images and clean code, so pages open quickly.

Visitor analytics

Graft & Comb is a small web studio from Manchester, building websites for businesses right across the UK.

The name comes from two things Manchester is known for: graft, the hard work behind every small business, and the honeycomb of the worker bee.

You deal with a small, friendly team who know your project inside out, from first chat to launch. No jargon, no hidden costs, and you own your website outright once it’s paid for.

FAQs

Do you work with businesses outside Manchester?

Yes. We work with businesses anywhere in the UK. Everything can be done by phone, video call, email or message.

How do payments work?

You pay a 50% deposit to book your build. The other 50% is due when the website is finished, before it goes live.

Do I have to pay monthly?

No. The monthly care plan is optional. It covers hosting, regular checks and free changes whenever you need them. If you’d rather not have it, we hand your finished website over for you to host and manage yourself.

Can you build a Shopify store?

Yes. We build your Shopify store for you, then transfer it to your own Shopify account when it’s finished and paid for, so it’s fully yours. You pay Shopify for your plan directly. Shopify stores aren’t covered by our care plan, but we’re happy to quote for changes whenever you need them.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Once it’s paid in full, the website is yours.

What about my domain?

Your domain (your web address, like yourbusiness.co.uk) is registered in your name, so you’re always in control. It’s billed separately and a .co.uk is usually around £10 a year.

Can I make changes after launch?

Yes. Each package includes revision rounds before launch. After launch, changes are free on the monthly care plan. Without a care plan, we’ll quote a price for each change before we start, depending on the job.

What do you need from me?

Your logo if you have one, your photos, your prices or services, opening hours and contact details. If you’re missing anything, we’ll tell you exactly what to send and help you put it together.

Will my website show up on Google?

Yes. We set up the page titles, descriptions and Google indexing so your website can be found. Climbing the rankings takes time and no one can honestly guarantee a top spot, but we make sure you start with the right foundations.

Is there a contract?

Yes, a simple written agreement that sets out what you’re getting, the price, the timings and the number of revision rounds, so we’re both clear before any work starts.

Do I need my own photos and wording?

Your own photos work best, as customers like seeing the real place and the real people. We’ll help shape your wording so it reads well.
